I'm Leia from California. I've been teaching English as a foreign language for more than 10 years. Many of my students have learned with me regularly for 5 years starting as a beginner and becoming advanced. Now they’re able have more conversations, travel more, improve test scores, get new jobs, and move to English-speaking countries more easily. People who come to me tend to to start at a lower or intermediate levels. I instruct both kids and adults. Together we will focus on clear pronunciation of the 44 sounds, build vocabulary on many topics, increase your expressions, understand the 12 grammar tenses step-by-step, and discuss readings. Want to improve today? Join me for a lesson.
Me as a Teacher
I will always speak clearly and correct everything.
My focus is on effective communication and your development.
Together we'll center on the following: pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and reading.
My lessons & teaching style
The way to make progress is continuous engagement. It's the way you learned your first language with your mom before you ever went to school. As you speak I'll correct your pronunciation to sound more natural and better understood. You'll read and use your critical thinking skills. As you're introduced to new vocabulary and expressions I'll write them down. Grammar is necessary, but I'll explain it easily with formulas and examples and ask you express yourself in return.

Leia is doing a great job teaching my kids English. She has a learning plan for both and she goes through different topics. The kids enjoy the lessons and I can see them improving.
